Classes have been encouraged to visit and handle the chickens. Class London Bridge have been responsible for the chickens since they were eggs in the summer 2019 term.

The rescue chickens have arrived from the British Hen welfare Trust. Students from Class London Bridge have been learning about animal welfare and what happens in a battery farm.

Our new chickens have a new home at Charlton Park Academy and we are using recycled material – shredded school paper – for the hens to lay their eggs on. Plus, they are already walking up and down their ladder, which is a new object for them due to their time in a battery farm.
